SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    As part of NIST's charge for National Cybersecurity Awareness and 
Education outlined in the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014, the 
National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) energizes and 
promotes a robust network and an ecosystem of cybersecurity education, 
training, and workforce development. NICE, led by NIST, fulfills this 
mission by coordinating with government, academic, and industry 
partners to build on existing successful programs, facilitate change 
and innovation, and bring leadership and vision to increase the number 
of skilled cybersecurity professionals helping to keep our Nation 
secure.
    Further, in support of the NICE Strategic Plan goals and 
objectives, the National Cybersecurity Career Awareness Week has been 
established to inspire, educate, and engage children through adults to 
pursue careers in cybersecurity. The annual week-long celebration 
provides for learning about the contributions, innovations, and 
opportunities that can be found by exploring cybersecurity as a field 
of study or career choice. The NICE community is encouraged to organize 
and participate in activities and initiatives during the week that:
     Create excitement around increasing public awareness and 
engagement in building a strong cybersecurity workforce.
     Emphasize the demand and opportunities in the field of 
cybersecurity.
     Increase awareness around the multiple career options 
within the field of cybersecurity.
     Highlight the numerous pathways to enter the cybersecurity 
career field.
     Showcase programs that increase participation of women, 
minorities, veterans, persons with disabilities, and other 
underrepresented populations in the cybersecurity workforce.
     Advance the NICE Strategic Plan objective to inspire 
cybersecurity career awareness with students.
    NICE Program Office strives to provide a comprehensive list of 
activities as described above to enable collaboration and growth.
